We purchased a new build, and his insight throughout the process was truly invaluable. He guided us with knowledge, patience, and confidence, making every step feel manageable and exciting.

Experiencia fantástica: Al and Sarah are an amazing team! We were impressed with them from our first meeting. They provided constant support and resources throughout the process of both selling our home and building a new home. Their response time to questions or concerns was so quick! And we had a lot of questions :) They have endless resources/recommendations for contractors and services and are really well connected in the industry. The complimentary staging consult and professional photos helped get our home in tip top shape. We had multiple offers above asking the day we went on the market which was a huge relief! Not only are they excellent at what they do, but they are very friendly and fun. We had a lot of laughs throughout this typically stressful process and really enjoyed getting to know them both. Al ‘s background in civil engineering and construction management was apparent as he was so knowledgeable about the house building process. We felt really confident trusting this team and they definitely delivered. Dianne on the office side of things is amazing and makes the whole process so smooth. We definitely will be recommending the Polovitz group to anyone who asks and will use them for any real estate needs we may have in the future. Thank you Sarah, Al, and Dianne!

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely hands down the best in the business. Al and Sarah guided us through a challenging and interesting process in purchasing our first home with a number of twists and turns, ups and downs. They stayed patient, engaged, collaborative, and supportive the entire time and we truly couldn’t have found our first home without them. I’d give them 100 stars if I could.

Experiencia fantástica: We had a fantastic experience working with Sarah and Al. Their deep knowledge of the Excelsior area and connections made all the difference—they helped us navigate the market with confidence. Sarah was constantly sharing her awareness of off market properties which is crucial in this market. Her strategic planning was impressive and resulted in an accepted offer to our (now) dream home. Her ability to always stay one step ahead, made the process smooth from start to finish. What we appreciated most was her hard work ethic, positive energy, and supportive and steady presence. She genuinely cared about our goals and was always available to answer questions or offer guidance. If you’re looking for a realtor who knows the area and has your back every step of the way, Sarah Polovitz is the one.

Experiencia fantástica: Sarah, Al and team are not only extremely professional and knowledgeable about the current housing market but they are also committed to listen to your family needs and go above and beyond for finding what best fits your necessities, they were always working around the clock and we felt the love from their team and successfully got our new home while selling the older home stress free, we couldn’t recommend them enough!

Experiencia fantástica: Sarah and Al were fantastic to work with. Great at communication and always on top of things without being pushy at all. They helped us find our dream lake home and we couldn’t be happier!

Experiencia fantástica: If you’re looking for the best realtors in Minnesota… you can stop… it’s Sarah Polovitz and Al Anderson from Compass! Their patience, diligence, and expertise are unmatched, and they are the reason we are in am the most perfect home ever.

Sarah and Al, thank you for your incredible work—we couldn’t be more thrilled with the new home. You’re truly the best in the business! ****and if you don’t want to just take my word for it, two friends of mine worked with Sarah and Al before I did. They raved about how incredible their realtors were, and I skeptically thought, “Sure, they’re probably fine……” Then I met Sarah, and now here I am writing this glowing review. Turns out, they were right—she is amazing!!!! So, I have to go and pack now and you should stop reading this and go CALL SARAH !

Experiencia fantástica: Sarah represented us in the purchase of our first cabin in the Brainerd lakes area. She was knowledgeable, communicative and always available for our questions big and small. She helped answer questions about lake property that we did not have knowledge in including wells, septic, different lake considerations, etc. She gave great guidance on a competitive offer when another buyer made an offer on the same day . We are so happy with how smoothly everything went and would not hesitate to buy or list with Sarah and Al in the future!! Dianne was the best- keeping us on track and sending updates and helpful info! Thank you Polovitz Group!!

Experiencia fantástica: We've had the pleasure of working with Sarah and her team on multiple real estate transactions over the years, and she has consistently exceeded our expectations.

We are grateful to have been partnered with such a talented team. Thank you for helping us find our new home. Carter, Izzy and Eddie

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience working with Sara, Al and team. Very helpful guiding us through the sale of our condo! Definitely will recommend the team to friends and relatives!!

Experiencia fantástica: Sarah and her team did a fantastic job working with my older parents helping them through the difficult decision to move out of their home of 40 years. We greatly appreciated her approach and the time and effort she spent working with them. Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: Love Sarah’s work

Experiencia fantástica: We recently had the pleasure of working with Sarah, Al and Dianne for the second time. It was our first time being on the selling side and we were very nervous about that process but the Polovitz group made it so seamless. Thanks to their expert marketing, correct pricing and staging…Our home sold on the first day! When it came to purchasing our next house, they took time to really understand what we were looking for. They are incredibly responsive and always ensure we are taken care of, even checking in several times after closing to ensure we were settling into our new house. They are an absolute pleasure to work with!

Experiencia fantástica: Sarah and Al were amazing to work with in helping my wife and I find our dream home. Their approach was very impressive and we couldn't of asked for a better experience in working with their group. Would highly recommend their services.

Experiencia fantástica: Great people who work very hard for their clients. Very happy with them. Highly recommend

Experiencia fantástica: Sarah, Al and team do not miss a beat! We worked with them to sell our current home and on our new home search. They’re incredibly responsive, always have early insight on opportunities and held our hand through the entire selling process. Thank you Sarah and team!

Experiencia fantástica: My husband and I experienced a remarkable selling and buying journey with Sarah, Al and Dianne. Everything from instant communication, expert knowledge, VIP service, and top notch professionalism - they provided it all. This best-in-class team knew exactly how to prepare and promote our house, which engaged numerous interested buyers, led to multiple attractive offers, and resulted in a rewarding sale (well over asking). Additionally, they landed us in our dream home, situated in a wonderful community, and we couldn’t be happier. I’m forever grateful for what they did to create incredible opportunities and outcomes for me and my family. The POLOVITZ GROUP is officially the Campbell crew’s real estate team for life!

Experiencia fantástica: So happy to have worked with Al on my first home purchase! I think he knew what I was looking for before I did and he ended up finding me the absolute perfect place. Definitely took all the stress out of a very stressful and confusing process. Al and Sarah will answer all your questions and make sure everything is perfect down to the last detail. Definitely recommend this duo.

Experiencia fantástica: My husband and I can not thank Sarah and Al more for helping us find the perfect first home!! They were always professional and went above and beyond when we had questions or needed anything. Their response times were incredible and always made time to prioritize us as clients. We will continue to recommend Sarah and Al to all of our friends and family and will use them for any of our future realty needs! Truly two amazing people and could not thank them enough :)

Experiencia fantástica: Sarah and Al were great. We were very impressed with their attention to detail, their knowledge of our local market as well as the team of other parties they brought to the table in completing both the sale of our existing home and the purchase of our new home on the same day within 45 minutes of each other. We had not purchased a home in quite a while and we had many very elementary questions they handled easily. We bought our new house on a Sunday, they led us through the process of cleaning, decluttering, photographing and listing our existing home all in the next 4 days. Their knowledge of the local market resulted in 60 showings and 100 open house guests and the sale of our house 7 days after we purchased our new one. Their ability to work with the other real estate agents and the closing agent and movers she brought to us were key to being able to close, move out and move in by 2 pm of that same day. We are thrilled with our new home and very thankful we chose them to represent us.

Experiencia fantástica: Sarah and Al completely exceeded our expectations in buying our first home. They worked with the mortgage lender, home inspector, insurance agent, and seller’s realtor seamlessly. We remain impressed by their quick responses to questions and issues—even after we had closed. Many thanks to Polovitz Group for making the purchase of our dream home easy.

Experiencia fantástica: Our family had an outstanding experience finding our new home with Sarah, Al and Dianne. They listened and determined what was important to us and fully accepted and dedicated their efforts towards meeting those asks. They were knowledgeable: knew the ins-and-outs of home values, trends, locations, community amenities, and had a plethora of local contacts for the various inspections. Sarah, Al, and Dianne were accommodating: reworked viewings to allow for last minute property add-ins and a second viewing and provided our kids with their own property info handouts to get them involved/excited about the process. They were professional: they kept us well informed at each stage of the home-buying process, prepared us with what to expect next, and answered questions and proposed solutions along the way. We have and will continue to recommend Polovitz Group. Without their efforts, we would not be in the home we are today.

Experiencia fantástica: Sarah and her team made a very stressful transition manageable! Ours was an unexpected move and it would not have been possible without Sarah’s prompt and precise action on our behalf. We could not have been happier with our experience!

Experiencia fantástica: Highly recommend Polovitz Group! We worked with them to both sell our current home and purchase new. Sarah, Al, and Dianne are best-in-class; we found their expertise, professionalism and impeccable communication to be incredibly valuable. The process of buying/selling a home can be stressful, but their team, approach, and client service made all the difference for our experience. Polovitz Group will be our first call for any future needs — we loved working with them!

Experiencia fantástica: So many things to love about Sarah and her team. My favorite is the depth of her community connections before, during, and after the purchase of our home, that all enabled us to be where we are now, in this lovely neighborhood. Not to mention the speed at which she works! She makes progress happen, without delay. Her experience is what drew us to her from the very beginning.

Experiencia fantástica: Best team there is

Experiencia fantástica: A decade ago we worked with Sarah’s Mom, Mentor + Former Business Partner, Kathy, to sell our condo downtown and move to what we thought would be our forever home. Four kids later, we outgrew that home and were ready for a move. Sarah has been alongside us every step of our complicated journey, bringing us both lots and listings before they hit MLS and helping us understand the many real estate nuances. Her market knowledge, proactiveness, responsiveness and network set her apart from other agents. She gets things done, often times working behind the scenes to make things happen without you even knowing it. She’s been patient and supportive of us as our plans have changed almost as many times as the market has and has encouraged us not to settle for anything but what we’ve got our hearts set on. She helped us get a lot we’ve had our eyes on for years and we’re beyond excited for what the future holds. Sarah is hands down THE BEST, it’s obvious she’s fully utilizing her God given gifts in her profession! If you are looking for a professional, knowledgable and fun Realtor to get the job done right, don’t look any further. You know how you can call up a travel agent, tell them what you’re looking for and they plan an incredible vacation and just send the itinerary and tickets to your inbox, with little to no hassle? That’s like finding a home or lot with Sarah! She's the definition of a full service Realtor and will make finding your next home an enjoyable experience!

Experiencia fantástica: Sarah and Al were beyond amazing to work with. They really made us feel like family and like we could count on them for anything. They were so easy to work with and took the time to make sure we found the house that was perfect for us. They even put up with some of our indecisiveness and were incredibly patient throughout the whole process. Both Sarah and Al are knowledgeable and trustworthy- we trusted them so much that we felt comfortable doing a walkthrough/purchase site unseen. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell or purchase a house.

Experiencia fantástica: The Polovitz group was great to work with. Paid close attention to our needs and made sure they communicated every step of their plans. We loved working with the entire team!

Experiencia fantástica: Sarah, Al and team made our home buying process nothing short of amazing. They are master communicators and negotiators, who make you comfortable every step of the way. Thank you again! Dan + Jenna

Experiencia fantástica: As a former Realtor and Limited Broker, I can say this team did an outstanding job. They were instrumental in helping us appropriately price and stage our house. We had 30+ showings and multiple offers in the first two weeks; they handled all the chaos and made our life easy. Selling one's house (and home) is not easy, but this team minimized the pain and guided us to a successful, full asking price sell. We would highly recommend this real estate team.

Experiencia positiva: Overall, we were very pleased with Kathy and her colleagues. She was very attentive to us and the process. When we received an offer, Kathy was very helpful in bringing it to closure. Also the app that kept us apprised of showings was a plus. It had been a decade since we had bought or sold real estate and the technology improvements since then were very good.

Experiencia fantástica: The process was seamless and we received a great price on the sale of our home. We have used them and referred others for the same wonderful experience.

Experiencia fantástica: Not many in 2021 can say they sold their house pre-market (over asking) AND bat 1.000 by securing an amazing home with their first offer. We can though, and we have this awesome team to thank for all of it!

Experiencia fantástica: We LOVED working with Sarah and her whole team! From the very first moment we met to the moment we closed, they were warm, communicative, efficient, knowledgable, quick on their toes, and did everything possible to make the home selling process as easy, successful and seamless as possible. They are expert marketers with a clear and proven system for selling a home. We trusted their process and ended up with multiple offers all over list price! You will always be in wonderful hands with the Rauth/Polovitz team!

Experiencia fantástica: We would highly recommend Kathy, Sarah and their team! They sold our home in 2 weeks! They have an unbelievable work ethic, great negotiating skills and communicated quickly through every step of the way. We were moving out of the state and they also helped us through that process. We hope to stay in touch and if we move back to Minnesota, we would use them in a heartbeat! Many thanks! Kim and Bryan

Experiencia fantástica: Sarah & Kathy were amazing to work with selling our home! They have great experience, are very responsive & professional. We would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat, can’t say enough great things about them!

Experiencia fantástica: Sarah and Kathy were outstanding. Sarah helped us through a very difficult transaction and she exceeded all expectations. I give Sarah and Kathy the highest rating and wild recommend them to anyone buying or selling real estate. You will never regret using them as your agent.

Experiencia fantástica: I absolutely loved working with Sarah and Kathy! Their team was always on top of it when it came to getting things done on time and helping to make the process go as smoothly as possible! They know their stuff and offer great advice throughout the process. I didn't know our house could look so great and could end up selling as easily as it did with their help! They also helped us find the house in the first place and both selling and buying with their help were amazing experiences!

Experiencia fantástica: I got in touch with Sarah during late March 2020 for being my listing agent, right when things started looking bleak during the first part of the pandemic. I had a lot of questions as it was my first time selling a home. Should I list now? At what price? Will there be buyers out there? Sarah (and her mother Kathy) were very helpful in guiding me through the entire process. Their team is very professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. They responded to all my questions promptly throughout the listing and closing. They helped me with negotiating offers, and kept me very well apprised during the closing process, so I knew what to expect when. My home was sold within one week of listing and I was very happy with the result! I highly recommend Sarah (and Kathy) and her team!

Experiencia fantástica: Sarah Polovitz and Kathy Rauth are exceptional at what they do. They’ve helped navigate us through buying and selling two homes and each time has been an outstanding experience. With their guidance and marketing knowledge we’ve been able to sell both homes in under 3 days receiving more than asking each time. They are highly informed and extremely connected. Whether you are in the Twin Cities or the Brainerd lakes area, they know the market and will go the extra mile. Highly recommend this team!!!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Our experience with Sarah Polovitz and Kathy Rauth as the listing agents for our very unique property (upscale house in a rural area) was nothing short of amazing. We selected them after a failed attempt to sell our house with another realtor. We were very careful when selecting the next agents to represent our home and paid particular attention to social media marketing and listing exposure skills. Kathy and Sarah are the real deal. Their response time was truly uncanny. We had more showings in the first weeks with Sarah and Kathy than we did during the entire time our house was on the market previously. They never dropped the ball. They did what they said they would do, were consistently positive and cheerful and made the whole experience a pleasure.

Experiencia fantástica: Sarah, Kathy, and Diane were fantastic. We sold our home in 3 days and got full ask. They have a team they work with for pictures and staging who are fantastic. They made the process as stress free as selling a home can be. We couldn't be happier after working with their team.

Experiencia fantástica: Sarah epitomizes professionalism and class. She works extremely hard and cares deeply. She is excellent at communicating and is always looking for ways to be better. She is a top notch Realtor!

Experiencia fantástica: Kathy and Sarah are true professionals and the best in the business! Our home sold within 24 hours in an upper bracket which averages 54-84 days on the market due to their knowledge and expertise. They were always responsive, helpful and resourceful. They go the extra mile to ensure your home shows in the best possible way from providing professional measurers, photographers and stagers as well as promoting through social media. They give sound advice and because we followed their suggestions our home sold quickly and for a great price. We recommend them to everyone.

Experiencia fantástica: My wife and I used Kathy and Sarah to buy a home a couple of years ago. They were very easy to work with. They asked a lot of questions to find the perfect home for us. The home buying process can be confusing and overwhelming. Kathy and Sarah make it as simple and easy as it possible can. I would highly recommend them and I have!

Experiencia fantástica: Even though I had never met Kathy I was referred to her thru a Edina realtor that was located in my previous home town. She forwarded listings on line and eventually we connected when I sold my home and wanted to relocate. She was in tune with what I was interested in and I closed on my old house on a Friday and signed a purchase agreement the following Tuesday. She was always the professional, always returned my calls asap, and was a joy to work with.

Experiencia fantástica: High Performance Professionals! Kathy and Sarah are amazing. I know many of their listing are sold before they are even listed in the MLS. In a few years, with the kids gone, my wife and I are looking at finding a smaller place on a lake. We will be using Kathy and Sarah when we're ready. I know from hearing how well they treat their buyers and sellers that I want to work with them too.

Experiencia fantástica: Kathy is more than a fabulous realtor. While she has always exceeded my expectations with helping me personally, she has helped my friends that I have referred to her who have raved about her & sent her their friends. She is the first one to raise her hand when you need help even after the sale is done.

Experiencia fantástica: Kathy was instrumental in finding our lake home in Deerwood MN. She guided us through the process and negotiated on our behalf. I think she did and outstanding job at every phase of the process and will use her for the sale of our home in the cities when the need arises. She is a quality professional, very experienced and a joy to work with.
